SILVER SPRINGS — A man warned against purchasing drugs from someone who wanted to sell him illegal narcotics was arrested by a sheriff’s deputy on charges of possession of crack cocaine and resisting arrest without violence, according to officials.

David Eugene Caban told a sheriff’s deputy he was going to call and tell the individual he wanted $60 worth of crack so he could return to his location and deputies could arrest the alleged dealer. The deputy told him not to pursue the transaction and to call the Sheriff’s Office if the person returned to the area so they could handle the situation.

During the conversation, Caban told the deputy he saw a vehicle approaching the area and believed it may be the reported dealer.

The deputy, along with other personnel, responded to the area, but it was not the person Caban was talking about. They then left the area.

Later, the deputy was notified that Caban had called the Sheriff’s Office, saying the individual had returned to the area, sold him crack cocaine and he was holding it in his driveway.

Returning to the area, the deputy asked Caban why he purchased the drugs and Caban told him he was never told not to purchase any drugs and he walked away.

After ignoring commands to stop, Caban was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
